How to Be A Perfect Stranger (6th Edition) - The Essential Religious Etiquette Handbook (Hardcover, 6th Edition, New, Updated and Expanded)

Updated and Revised! Includes Glossary of Popular Religious Symbols We North Americans live in a remarkably diverse society, and it's increasingly common to be invited to a wedding, funeral or other religious service of a friend, relative or coworker whose faith is different from our own. These can be awkward situations ... What will happen? What do I do? What do I wear? What do I say? What should I avoid doing, wearing, saying? Is it okay to use a video camera? How long will it last?
